ban, leader of the Opposition, opened
an attack upon the Governments

jected fort works on the Meuse The

tended. With the help of network
of railways and numerous bridges an
enemy could always turn the fort
works and penetrate the country with
out passing under the fire of the forts.

would not be damaged. The declara-
tons of English statemen has stood
good until the present. Great Britain
would never allow such a violation of
public law, nor would any enemy at
tempt to commit such crime. the

BosToN, Feb. 2S.-A London dis
patch to the Herald says that if the
estimates of the supplementary elect
ions in Germany are borne out, the
new Reichstag will contain 217 sup
porters and $50 opponents of the Sep
tennate. OF the 217 members classed
as Septennists only two are likely to
break with the Government on gen
eral issues. Thus it is computed that
outside the army question Prince Bis
marek will have 215 adherents, a re-
lative gain of 118 for the Government.
